There are several different species of Tigerfish including Hydrocynusvittatus, Hydrocynusforskalii and the massive Goliath Tigerfish (Hydrocynusgoliath). These fish have sharp and VERY large teeth that look more like they came from a shark than a freshwater fish. Tigerfish are often found in places like the Congo river and in particularly Zimbabwe.Tigerfish are arguably the most fierce freshwater fish in the world rivaling the Piranha. These fish can reach mammoth sizes, the record Goliath Tigerfish of the Congo was 45kg! As you can imagine, due to their extreme appearance and large size they are a dream for anglers around the world. Tigerfish are notoriously difficult to catch, and are considered to be one of the best fighters and jumpers pound for pound. Tigerfish are said to hunt in packs like the Piranha, they are known to rip their prey apart piece by piece with their razor sharp teeth. There have even been unverified reports of attacks on humans! If you are one of the lucky people to ever catch a Tigerfish, you can prepare them a couple different ways. They are often fried or baked, but have a few more bones than some other fish fillets. To see this amazing creature in action check out the videos below of a African Tigerfish...

that thing looks prehistoric! Cretaceous to be thorough. It looks like Xiphactinus... scary bloody fish. Do you reckon it could be a descendant of a close cousin of one of those boisterous carnivorous Cretaceous fish?

They do hunt in packs on occation, watch River Monsters, He witnessed it, the catfish would pushthe baitfish out of the reeds and they teamed up with the tigerfish andwent to town, massive freshwater feeding frenzy
